Hdtv Ready
An updated explanation of what "HDTV Ready" meant, why the label was useful in the 2000s, and what buyers should check today - native resolution, inputs (HDMI/HDCP), and modern standards like 4K/UHD.

"HD Ready" originally meant a TV could accept HD signals (720p/1080i) but didn't guarantee a native 1080p panel or built-in tuner. Today, look for native resolution, HDMI version, HDR, and HDCP support rather than legacy badges.
